Linde Werdelin is a company that takes the idea of form following function very seriously. Their line of uniquely designed watches are purpose built and also look great doing it. You often have to sacrifice one for the other but, they do a great job at excelling in both areas.

The model featured here is the Linde Werdelin Spedolite Titainium Blue. Which, true to it's name, is constructed completely out of the light and strong metal titanium. The very complex case construction is comprised of 19 pieces that are put together like a beautiful watch puzzle. This is all designed with a specific purpose in mind. Jorn Werdelin, the company's co-founder, was in a terrible skiing accident that may have been avoidable if he had an instrument to help him navigate the mountain and avoid the cliff that he ended up skiing over. With that experience behind him, Jorn teamed up with Morten Linde and they designed this case to have the ability to mount a precision digital instrument on top to provide critical information for either diving or mountaineering. That's pretty James Bond if you ask me. You have a very rugged and good looking sports watch that, when needed, you can attach a digital computer to calculate your depth and time under water.

The movement inside the Spedolite Titainium is the LW04 Cal 2252 which is a movement made exclusively for Linde Werdelin by the company Concepto. You can see this nicely decorated automatic movement through the sapphire crystal caseback. The strap is also a proprietary textile and leather design that is integrated into the case. You also have many other interchangeable Linde Werdelin strap and bracelets to choose from.

This is, without a doubt, one of the most unique sport watches out there and its from an innovative company that is focused on the exacting details of their work. They also produce their watches in very limited runs, usually 75 or 100 pieces. This watch is one of 75 that were produced so you also get exclusivity. If you're looking for a very functional and durable sport watch, you should really check out Linde Werdelin. Price on the Linde Werdelin Spidolite is 10,900 euro and you can find one at Martin Pulli Fine Jewelry & Watches.
